Overview

Head out from London on a full-day trip to King Arthur’s realm! Learn the facts and fiction about King Arthur and the mystical Isle of Avalon. Explore ancient stone circles in the Kingdom of Wessex, including Avebury and the iconic Stonehenge.

What to Expect

On this full-day tour you’ll hear about the myths and legends of King Arthur, with a chance to separate fact from fiction. Head to the spectacular west country of England and spend the day in the mystical Isle of Avalon.

Your day begins as you head to the ancient Kingdom of Wessex and then continue onward to Stonehenge. Your guide will tell you about the 5,000 years of Stonehenge history and about the theories and ideas that scholars continue to debate.

Was the site an astronomical clock, a calendar, a place of worship, or a burial place for the elite? You can ponder the theories as you walk around the stones and admire the views.

Continue west to Celtic lands, toward the Isle of Avalon and mystical Glastonbury. You’ll stop at the famous Glastonbury Tor. Descend to the Chalice Well Gardens to hear about the legend of Joseph of Aramathea and the chalice from the Last Supper.

Head into the bustling town of Glastonbury to visit the Abbey and the gravesite of Arthur and Guinevere. You’ll have time for lunch among the New Age shops and quirky boutiques.

You’ll also visit the ancient complex at Avebury, the largest collection of Neolithic monuments in England. Take a guided tour around the huge stone rings of Avebury and see the mysterious Silbury Hill, Europe's tallest prehistoric man-made monument.
